An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?

1. Isobaric
2. Isochoric
3. Isothermal
4. Adiabatic

Correct answer: Adiabatic

Solution

In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange, and the work done depends only on the change in volume and pressure. For the same volume change, the work done on the gas is maximum in the adiabatic process compared to other processes.
